BetterMind Labs mentors are industry professionals with five or more years of experience who guide high school students through AI projects, research, and advanced builds, in 1:1 or small-group sessions.
Behind every student project is guidance from experienced professionals and industry experts. Hear directly from our students about the mentorship, feedback, and support that helped them turn ideas into meaningful projects and experiences.
“The use of AI is becoming more prominent and the mentor helped me catch up to our growing standards and become involved.”
“My mentor Amaan walked me through every step of creating a functional project which would have been impossible without any help.”
“Mentor clarified a lot of advanced concepts that would’ve taken me forever to figure out solo.”
“My mentor was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. I could always text him on Slack whenever I had a question.”
“My one-on-one sessions with my mentor were definitely where I learned the most.”
“The mentors were supportive and encouraged us to think creatively while giving us the freedom to develop our own ideas.”
“I would definitely recommend this course to someone in the future.”
“My mentor was highly knowledgeable, and gladly answered all my questions. Overall, I would definitely do this program again.”

“I had a wonderful experience with Betterminds Labs, and the mentors were great and very understanding.”
“I came into the program with little experience coding, and immediately my mentor helped explain everything”
“I learned an immense amount about machine learning, project structuring, and data processing under my mentor's guidance.”
“I especially appreciated the mentorship and support I received whenever I had questions or needed guidance.”
“It was just right, amazing, great support, incredible availability of the mentors and outstanding ML contribution”
“As a novice who has never dappled into the field of AI/ML prior to the program, the instructor and mentor both played immense role in ensuring the project's success and in helping my personal development. I'm grateful for this beginner-friendly...”
“The instructor led sessions are a good introduction into understanding concepts between AI. My individual mentor was mostly helpful for idea support in terms of adding features, changing design, etc. I do feel that the individual mentorship support was not...”
“My mentor became one of my inspirations to keep learning AI/ML.”
“BetterMind Labs was an incredible experience. The mentors were supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping us learn and grow. I appreciated how the program challenged me to think critically, work collaboratively, and apply what I learned to a real...”
“My mentor was highly resourceful; rather than simply giving us the answers, he constantly encouraged us to figure things out on our own.”
“I especially enjoyed the mentorship sessions, where I received valuable feedback and guidance. It provided a solid amount of knowledge and a deeper understanding of AI, and I recommend it to others who want to grow in this field.”
“One thing I really appreciated about the mentors was their constant willingness to help, even during last-minute calls.”
“A very significant capstone project to add to your resume. Mentors are extremely helpful and you learn a lot.”
